About Me

I'm a semi retired patent agent, but its not about that; I've been married to a beautiful woman since she was 18 and I was 21 in 1968.
My dream in life since 1953 when my dad died was to own our property again on Deadman Creek (we say "crick") and in Oct. of 2000 we were able to buy 30 acres of the place back. Now we have a cabin on the old place and go there whenever we can. And I'm doing what I can to eventually build a porch on the front, hence "Jimbo's Front Porch".
One thing I'm doing to raise funds for the building project is turning and hand carving wood crochet hooks from branch wood I collect from the ranch. Proceeds from sales go into the building fund such as it is.
Ok.. nuf about me.. I spect more will come out as this grows.

Wood/metal handle, and Hair Sticks

Here is another example of a wood handle for a metal hook. I made this one for "Pink" in C'ville but can make others for those who'd want one or more. Still working on the idea of a removable handle. I'll post something if the idea jells right. The other photo is by request, of hair sticks i've done. I can do these too, but at $30/pair... they take about the same amount of time as the hooks. These are made from a burned cedar stump up on the crick, above where our house was, and right next to where the new place is going to be. Nice figured wood.
